Joshua and Kiley are so special to me! Last March, I had the joy of photographing their Downtown Austin elopement. I also had the honor of being their bridesmaid and witness! They chose their March date because it was the same date Kiley’s grandparents would have celebrated 50 years of marriage! How sweet is that?
Later that year, they threw a fun party with their friends and family to celebrate at The White Magnolia in Louisiana. Today is the one year anniversary of that celebration, so it’s the perfect time to post their reception images. Here’s a peek at my favorites!
I love all the COLOR they used for their wedding reception at The White Magnolia! The colors remind me of a beautiful desert sunset! Maybe the desert part comes from all the cute cactus glasses that they had ready for cocktails or printed on the pizza boxes and invitations.
If you haven’t already noticed, there are a TON of music references all over their wedding reception! The table numbers have different musical instruments, the name tags at place settings are cassette tapes, guests were greeted with “tacos and tunes” with a mixed CD from the bride and groom, their sweetheart table was designated with vinyl records, and they even had a wedding tambourine covered in floral! So, it was only fitting to recreate this scene from “Say Anything” with Joshua holding up a boombox with Kiley in the balcony. These two are SO MUCH FUN!
We have so much love for Joshua and Kiley! We’re so thankful we were able to capture their wedding reception and party at The White Magnolia in Louisiana!
Have I mentioned how much FUN Joshua and Kiley are? They even had PIZZA for their wedding guests!
They had the coolest wedding cake with Flamingos as the cake topper! I love all the color on the cake, too!
Congratulations, Josh and Kiley!
